Transfers
The Bachelor of Science in Industrial Technology (BSIT) Transfer Program is a degree completion curriculum designed for students who have been awarded a qualified Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degree in an industrial or technical related field. The courses completed in the qualified technical AAS degree provide the foundation and half of the courses required in the major for the Industrial Technology degree. This BS degree program has the flexibility to allow students to tailor a curriculum to their specific career goals.
Excelsior College accepts transfers from RichmondCC's EUSRT program in the BS in Electrical Engineering Technology and a BPS Technology Management, Electrical Technology. To be guaranteed admission under this agreement, graduates must transfer with an associate degree with a minimum GPA of 2.0. Eligible graduates have the ability to maximize their transfer credits, specifically the ability to transfer approx. 90 credits. Students transferring from RichmondCC will save $100 per credit hour.
